Best App Ever

Updated Fantastic we now have a pantry and it’s brilliant. To be able to scan the items in is a game changer. Love it. I can highly recommend this app it’s brilliant. I have used Recipe Keeper for a while however there was no way for family members to see the meal planner without sending a link to add to their calendar. Now all members can see what I see. Pestle is very user friendly, so do yourself a favor and don’t hesitate to go Pro. The only thing that would make this app even better is if it included a pantry so you could list what items you had in your cupboard and fridge. Which is why I gave 4 ⭐️ not 5.

Brilliant

I seldom write app reviews, but I'm moved to endorse Pestle because it is so well executed. Its ability to ingest recipes through URLs or scans is genuinely helpful, the shopping list is fantastic, and the design is attractive and practical. I've done a lot of cooking from my phone in the past, but it only became enjoyable after I downloaded Pestle. I've even started scanning recipes from cookbooks into the app, because often the good ones get lost in the books and they are more readily rediscovered in the app. Pestle is one of those rare apps that really justify their price.

Goodbye Paprika.. all hail Pestle

Absolutely amazing app, the integrations with reminders is flawless. The UI and add recipe functions are also both incredible. The integrated rss is also genius as a way to discover ingredients. I feel like I couldnt ask for anything more from a cooking app but given how perfect this app already is i might.

Would it be possible to export nutrition data to shortcuts? Also it would be great if there was a way to seperate ingredients between different dish elements, without the header being understood as an ingredient.

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for those kind words!! As for ingredient sections, I definitely want to add this!
